Combining star- and cross-shaped luster tiles, this panel exemplifies the type of puzzle-like wall revetments popular in the Ilkhanid period. Some of the tiles shown here display inscriptions from the Qur'an or verses of Persian poetry. Their content reveals that the tiles came from differing architectural contexts - some religious, others secular - and only later were combined to create this display.

Inscription: Translation of Arabic inscription: He was staying up one night and had eaten a lot. His stomach being full, he became sleepy and tongue-tied and his limbs feeble for prayer. He said: The refuge of the needy is in the clemency of God and in the society of honest men. Let your soul hunger that you may attain Paradise! Verily, the passion for nourishment beyond measure starves the soul in this world, and with immoderation brings it to a bad end and to misery. The Prophet said: Let your stomach be empty and your soul generous.

Mu‘ādh al-Rāzī may God have mercy on him, said: O’ you all of thrusters, starve yourselves for the banquet in paradise because the delight of food is as making yourselves hungry at vale and it says to Ḥātam al-’Aṣamm, with what you given the wisdom, he says by making stomach empty and be generous and waking of nights and Luqmān the wisdom said to his, if the stomach be full the thought slept and the wisdom be mute and the parts of body stopped praying.
